State bank members in your district. Upon receipt of such advice please
arrange to mail to each State bank member, scheduled to reach the bank
as nearly as practicable on the date given in the Board's telegraphic
advice, three copies of Form 105, two copies of Form 105e, and an appropriate number of copies of Forms 105b, 220, 220a and 220b, with the request that the forms be held pending the receipt of a call for reports
thereon.
Please furnish the Board with a copy of the letter transmitting
the forms to State bank members, a copy of the letter celling for reports, and a list of the State bank members on xvhich the call is made.
The original copies of reports on Forms 105, 105b and 220 should
be retained for the files of your bank, while the duplicate copies thereof and reports on Forms 105e and 220a should be forwarded to the Board.
The only change made in any of the forms is the addition of two
memorandum items at the bottom of page U of Form 105. The first memorandum item is intended to include all loans on farm land and all agricultural loans (whether secured by ft.-rm land, otherwise secured, or
unsecured). By "agricultural loans" is meant loans made for agricultural
purposes, including the production of agricultural products, the marketing or the carrying of agricultural products by the growers thereof, and
the breeding, raising, fattening, or marketing of live stock. Please
advise State bank members accordingly, when transmitting the blank Forms
105 to them.
In order to avoid errors in the publication of condition reports
in accordance with Form 105e, it is suggested that the State bank members

be advised that, when practicable to do so, they should examine and check
the proof copy of the published statement before its actual publication
in the newspaper.
The reports should be examined at your bank in accordance with
past procedure and any necessary corrections obtained, if practicable,
before they are forwarded to the Board. It is suggested that the reports
be examined particularly to see that an amount or the word "none" is
shown against the new memorandum items at the bottom of page U of Form
105, that the amount of the first memorandum item appears to be reasonable in comparison with the figures shown in Schedule E, and that the
amount of the second memorandum item appears to be reasonable in comparison with the amount of Asset Item 7. The printed copies of reports of
State bank members and their affiliates, clipped from the newspapers and
attached to the reverse side of Forms 105e and 220a, should be examined
to see that they appear to be in proper form. Copies of letters sent to
State bank members in connection with published reports and of any replies received thereto should be furnished the Board, to assist the Board
in determining whether the differences between the reports submitted to
your bank and the published statements are sufficiently important in any
case to warrant republication.
Please have compiled from the next call reports and mailed or
wired in time to reach the Board, within 3 weeks after the date on which
the call is made, if practicable, a summary statement, showing separately
for central reserve city member banks, reserve city member banks, and

country member banks, the amount of (1) each class of loans and discounts
as shown against Items 1 to 8 of Schedule E, (2) each class of United
States Government obligations, direct and/or fully guaranteed, as shown
against items 1(a) to 2(c) of Schedule F, and (3) total other bonds,
stocks and securities, as shown against Asset item four (total of
Schedule G).
Very truly yours,

Chester Morrill
Secretary.
